English version

A lot of wind and heavy rain during the night - although we lay well moored
to the pontoons there was some movement in the boat and creaking of ropes and we
didn't sleep that well. It has rained on and off most of the day, the sun
getting out at about four and making everything dry off nicely. We have then had
an indoors day which suited well to a task I have had on my list of making a
good sea berth in the saloon. We discovered on the trip over from Portugal that
when we are four on board then we lack a sea berth when both Rønnaug and I have
free-watch. Our cabin in the bow is too roomy when the boat is rolling a lot,
and a bit to vulnerable for pitching when going against the waves. When the
guest cabin is occupied by crew, then the single place in the other stern cabin
suits fine for one person, but we need two places. We have now made the sofa on
starboard into a sea berth by securing a netting from the edge of the sofa to
the underside of the saloon table - we just need to try it out on the crossing
to the Canaries.

We had hoped for a walk today, but by the time the sun had come out it was
time for my haircut, then the afternoon was gone. Today's pictuer is of a
trumpet flower tree.
